I don't recall at the moment what the absolute maximum number of talkgroups is for say a Motorola XTS5000 or similar radios on the ARMER system. What end user(s) would likely have the greatest number programmed in their radios? Would it be Minnesota State Patrol, BCA, HSEM, or somebody else? With troopers and others having statewide responsibility, they would seem like a likely candidate. Think about it, if you work here in the metro, you might want the ability to scan many different talkgroups for agencies that you might work with. If you are a 4460 beat, you might want Saint Paul Police, Ramsey County, etc. Anyway, do you think any users have maxed out their memory capacity yet? Maybe the SYS TECHS?
Also, on a related note, I seem to recall that say the XTS5000 could only scan 15 or 16 talkgroups at once. Does anybody happen to know if that has increased or if other manufacturers have a higher scan capacity?
